By RACHEL GAUER — features@theaggie.org In the bustling academic landscape of UC Davis, where sustainability, agriculture and STEM often dominate the university’s spotlight, a handful of small humanities departments quietly flourish and foster passion and community amongst students and faculty.
The University of California, Davis, is third in the nation among public universities and 12th among all universities for how well it sets its graduates up for financial success in the WSJ/College Pulse rankings released today (Sept. 5).
Dr. Elisabeth Krimmer has a reputation among students for being kind, generous and passionate about her work. This passion is also evident in her prolific research–she has written and edited 18 books and over 50 articles. Originally from Munich, Germany, Dr. Krimmer is a professor of German, author, researcher, mentor and recent recipient of the UC Davis Academic Senate’s Distinguished Teaching Award for Graduate and Professional Teaching.
The Academic Senate and Federation have awarded 15 faculty members top academic honors for 2024. These awards are given to faculty who are outstanding in their expertise, teaching, mentorship, and public service. Among the recipients of the Distinguished Teaching Award for Graduate and Professional Teaching is German professor Elisabeth Krimmer.
Professor Krimmer is recognized for helping graduate students innovate in the field of German literature. Her mentorship has helped her graduate students bridge the work of teaching and research.
Graphic storyteller and UC Davis alumna Maureen Burdock returns to campus to discuss her latest project, “Sleepless Planet: A Graphic Guide to Coping with Insomnia.” Presented by the UC Davis Department of German and Russian, the talk will be at the School of Education Building, Room 174, on Feb. 22 at 4 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. No registration is required.
“I hope to motivate people to think more deeply about sleep for themselves as well as the planet,” Burdock said.
